We have come to the very last stop on our Cake Wrecks "World" Tour, dear Wreckies. Now I know, I know; you're going to miss seeing your fellow Wrecktators' Wreckplicas, and the wreckalicious Wrecks our local Wreckerators prepared in each city, but what can I say? (Something starting with "wreck," perhaps?)

Well, without further ado, here are the treats the folks in Atlanta got to partake of earlier this week:

This gravity-defying bit of prettiness was provided by Lisa of Feast Catering. Lisa actually first contacted me waaay back before the first half of the tour, begging us to come to Atlanta so she could provide the cake. How's that for dedication?

In fact, Lisa made TWO cakes. The pretty one, and the...well, let's call it the "fun" one:

[snicker] Isn't it fabulous? The mixing bowl was a strawberry cake so delicious that even I couldn't snag a piece (but I got to hear about it from everyone who did). Heh.

This one was appropriately Wrecked. ;) I especially love the little piping bag.

Our standing-room-only crowd of Wrecktators:

By the way, I don't think I've mentioned this before, but you guys should know that we broke signing-attendance records left and right on this tour. And for those stores that had seen larger events, the employees almost always assured us they'd never hosted one that was this much fun. You guys made that happen, so thank you!

Ok, back to the photos. Here are our three Wreckplica contest "winners":

From the left, that's Amanda, Daniel, and "girl who has to e-mail me her name because I can't read it on the plate." (I'm guessing her parents were hippies.)

UPDATE: Elizabeth has e-mailed to tell me her name is...Elizabeth. (The suspense was killing you there, wasn't it?)

We're so glad you added Atlanta to your tour (sorry you two had to get deathly ill for it to happen, though). As soon as my daughter saw the Atlanta posting, she begged to go! Yeah, she really had to twist my arm on that one. :-)

We had a great time and enjoyed meeting you and John in person. Even my 7 yr old son was excited to meet you -- he talked about it nearly every day beforehand.

I think that you picked the wrong winner. That Ready to Pop cake should have been among the top three. Out of all the cup cake replicas the was one of the best. It even made me want to comment when I have never stopped to comment before.

My lady, Paige, saw me in this post and asked me how I always show up everywhere online. :-) I'm in the second picture behind the mixing bowl cake reading Retro Gamer magazine while waiting for the Jen & Jon to officially kick off the event.

My lady & I also BOTH got to ask questions (thanks, Jon!), AND I got to make fun of Sean Hannity with everyone in the crowd laughing, which was a huge plus.

You guys did a great job in Alanta, and it was my pleasure to check it out!

I was at the event, and it was pretty fun indeed! I was there with some of my friends, and Daniel, the winner with the "coiled crap hound" wreckplica ended up giving us his cake out of the blue after we congratulated him on winning. Definitely a cool evening!

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
